Meetup will build a Claude Code-style coding agent from scratch, no framework
dfinke · x · 2026-07-28
A live meetup will walk through building a Claude Code-style coding agent from scratch with no framework. The session will wire up the LLM, tool calls, a terminal loop, permission prompts and validation, then let the agent handle a bounded coding task.
The agenda covers:
- setting up the model client and agent loop
- file read/write/edit tools and shell commands
- keeping agent state straight across tool calls
- a terminal REPL that solves a natural-language task
- permission prompts, error handling, cleanup and handoff
The host says the goal is not to clone every Claude Code feature, but to show the underlying pattern that makes these systems work.
